Low Pressure is a sought after DJ and producer throughout many European countries, with status as a seasoned songwriter blending the best of musical spheres such as dubstep, reggae, hip hop and soul that will only be solidified with the release of this new single. His gritty beats, soulful vocals and hypnotic ambience have been his trademark for years, and ‘Babylon Big Time’ stamps that down hard, promoting a hybrid approach to the dubstep sound with well-written hooks that place it right at the point where the mainstream is fed from the depths of the underground’s rising currents. Low Pressure used to go by the name Emo (Stereo Deluxe, Audiopharm) before the word became synonymous with excessive guy-liner and teenage angst. For ten years he released albums of his own, while producing, remixing and working with many other artists. Now rocking the Low Pressure name, his refined dubstep style is instantly evident in ‘Babylon Big Time’, a swirling synth driven and vocal-charged audio bomb, commenting in righteous fashion on the uneven distribution of the world’s resources in a nononsense, straightforward way. Taking a stand against the dark forces of Babylon, the rebelliousness he represents is not only found in the tune’s skillful mix of genres, but also in its lyrics, with a political directness that strikes a blow right in the face of the unseen guardians of economic control. In complete contrast, the gloriously silk-lined remix by Danish bass ambassadors 2000F & JKamata distils the original’s core elements into a heady and intoxicating dancefloor wow, allying pulsing sub-bass with intricate keyboard sequences and howling feline synth licks, while decaying vocal delays maintain the dread atmosphere amid a luxurious framework of woozy hyperfunk. Like being hit by a brick, but one made of gold and dipped in spiced rum, this version is as near-perfect an example of a low-end anthem you’re likely to encounter this side of the autumn equinox, ideal for those nights when the sky is clear and the mercury is rising.
